We report a case of bacterial endocarditis caused by nonhemolytic group B streptococcus (GBS) in a 67-year-old man with no predisposing risk factors. Nonhemolytic GBS strains rarely cause illness and are usually detected in perinatal infections. We believe this to be the first reported case of endocarditis caused by a nonhemolytic strain of GBS.
我们报告一例由非溶血性B组链球菌（GBS）引起的细菌性心内膜炎，患者为一名67岁男性，无诱发危险因素。非溶血性GBS菌株很少致病，通常在围产期感染中被检测到。我们认为这是首例由非溶血性GBS菌株引起的心内膜炎报告病例。
